Here's a little story I tink you'll like.
It's not bout' two shmucks looking for amour.
It's all bout' me, my life, and my big fat bluntz.
Imma bout' to tell ya what Reggae's for.

Reggae stands for peace and the luv in yaself.
It's bout' them spankable honies and big fat beatz.
It's bout' sweet **** chicken and otha tasty stuff.
It's bout' that dank smell of ***** fillin' da streetz.

Reggae's da warm sensation from a fresh beef patty.
It's the chill rub-a-dub sound of dat Marley noize.
It's the Jamaican sun spreadin light on ya gurl's curves.
It's the dutty jammin ya get in to witcha dazy rond-boys.

*My life is Reggae. Reggae is my life
My first post. Hope you island boys preciate ma style.

You shmucks try and politicize my life

Cause the people they have lots of strife

Spend money for the power

While it grows each passing hour.

You feed your greed
Not those in need
What is your purpose do you even breathe
Can you see
Instrumental

What can I do, what can I say?
You keep yourselves so far away I have to say

You say I vote to speak my peace
But your nonsense will not cease

To choose from two and vote for you  
Take the devil by the horns and show him what to do
Read between the lines inspite of what
Instrumental

You think the people they don’t know
Just sheep to shear and crops to grow.
Though single sheep we are indeed,
A pack of lions are in need.
I shouldn’t warn you but I will
Your time is short, so get your thrills
Your time is short, you give me chills
Your time is short, your time is short
The Lions come, Your time is short

For once I see clearly
Grounded, the anxiety haze
that turns shmucks into great guys has lifted
and I see you with all your flaws
I see you because I am connected to the true me
not the scared little girl who wanted her mother's love
so desperately
and it lasted, and lasted
and last night the haze was there
and all I wanted was you with me
but today, how clearly I could see
how awful, how wrong and bad you are
I pray to stay in that space
of reality

Friday I'm in love,

Tuesday

im in dread,

wednsay
dont even say,

thursay

is another day,

Saturday
why,

sunday,

go away.

today is just a cloud, a smoggy
OC
blue bird in the dust.

I touch the shoulder,

so many dead people that I could cry. another neck to weep on, another back to caress, another
cheek to kiss,
another hand to hold---
we walk back to the hill.

dawn in the early hours.

   my  first kiss,  your big green eyes, in the stars,  I hold you tight and the sun smiles.

I walk back so happy,
and the car coughs, and the house just laughs. I want to be somewhere else.      I want to be
where the leaves don't turn brown,
in the ashen fall.


behind the gray fog, where love isn't just a meme, where love isn't just a word,

a word for shmucks. I want to feel again. feel your heartbeat;

but for now I count to ten and there's no-one to blame.

back to the street clogged adolescent suburbia. buy what you can, fill what can't be filled,
you are
still here


here


here beyond words in the   lonely wood

Debris on the shore
They said everyone was poor
In faith
Fortune
Now fate crumbled our luck
Bunch of shmucks
Running amuck
"When will help come?"
"Who will save us?"
The ones in their tower
Debating on how to solve a problem
That kills people by the hour
Come sit and cower
What the fathers wanted...
Balance of power
Hurting us more than needed.

One man's super hero is another
man's ******* role-play

Stan Lee once had the revelation
that super heroes were basically
naked exhibitionists in body paint

Due credit is given to Mexican
wrestling; who didn't love Santos?
& women in bikinis, preferably
silver, rough hide or fur. Feminists
in space responsible for the re-
introduction of Wonder Woman
into Pop culture; super heroes
losing to chaotic cosmic & market
forces; until CGI reached the level
where it could reproduce Asgard:

Something Wagner's been
doing for 100 years or so...
but all the micro-cellular
digitized pixelated computer
scanning can't improve on
a naked girl. By the way, whatever
happened to naked girls? Do Bra
ads count? Victoria's Zombies
are genuinely frightening, forget
'unrealistic'. They'r ******* monsters;

SI swimsuit Issue, for those with
a fetish for ******* Dodos;
it could happen. Betty & Veronica's
creator started out in **** & simply
put clothes on them. That's what
happening today. Fully-clothed ****.

I've seen it. It's scary; like being
trapped in a time-loop where one is
seventeen forever & never gets past
third base & the girl turns into your
mom, who's secretly a cop, an alien
or a serial killer. That's the zeitgeist.

Into this sickening surreality
of American society Stan Lee
brought dangerously neurotic
heroes; shmucks who tampered
with the laws of nature & lost
again & again. Spider Man,
Iron Man, Hulk & X-Men are
not heroes; they're monsters;
Captain America is a zombie.
